Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a nevvinanner of ornamcnting plain glass globes or shades for gas or oil-lamps, and consists in providing sectional pieces of colored or stained glass, and in fitting the same to Wire or other clamps, by means of which they can be suspended from the edges of the globe or shade. The ornamental sections can be arranged in various colors and forms. The sections are maderemovable from the globe orshade, so that theyacan be packed separate from the same.

The sectional plates can be made of glass of any suitable color. The saule may be stained, or ground, or otherwise ornamented as may be desired. For transportation, the glass sections are detached from the shades, and can thereby be more conveniently and safely packed.
